Optical communication module

摘要

The present invention provides an optical module in which the level of the lead frame coincides with the optical axis of the fiber. The module 1 comprises a container 4, a subassembly 2, a base member 5 and a lead frame 6. The subassembly 2 includes a substrate, on which the semiconductor optical device and the optical fiber are mounted. The container 4 has a pair of surface. One surface is securing the lead frame thereon while the base member is attached to the other surface of the container 4. The base member comprises an island portion and a frame portion. The subassembly 2 is placed on the island and the frame portion is fixed to the container 4. Island support portions connecting the island portion to the frame portion is deformed in the molding process, thus aligning the subassembly 2.
